We recently started living full time in our '05 Bounder 34f. I've had for abut 4 years now. We had it set up as weekend getaway. Now that I'm retired we are living in and traveling in it. I have a lot of questions for you fellow Fleetwood owners.

My Bounder has only 19000 mikes on it, the reason for the purchase. Everything on board as far as I know is original equipment. Right down to the rubber, which didn't last 200 mile.

My first Question has to do with the Heat and AC units. Is there an upgraded thermostat that allows for the fans to run with out making the units run in either mode?

Thanks in advance for any ideas and recommendations.

Let me start by emphasizing that I am no expert. However, every thing I have ever read or heard is that motorhome tires should be replaced based on age and not miles. The tires should be replaced at about every five years regardless of mileage. There is a date of manufacture on your tires, check it. The Coleman made thermostat that controls the furnaces and air conditioners on my 2015 Excursion 33D have a function to run the fans only in the ac.

Thanks Hal.,

All 7 tires got replaced at the 200 mile mark. The dealer that sold me the coach wasn't so informative.

I'll check the manufacturer of my units and see what they tell me.

On my 06 Discovery, on either zone one or two, I can use the mode button and toggle through the options. When thermostat is switched to "Cool", the first option is "Cool Auto" fan and compressor both will kick off and on as needed based on temp setting. Next mode is "Cool High" the fan will run non stop and the compressor will kick on as needed based on you temp setting. Next option is " Cool Low" same as cool high but lower fan speed. Next option is "Fan High" then "Fan Low" this is fan only. Compressor will not run. Only fan. Next option is "Off". Also if I understand correctly the system is a sealed system, which means I get no outside air through the system. All it is doing is re-circulating the air in the coach. Hope this helps.
